My first one was new, but this is a used one I found about 2 hours from me. Has 499 miles on the clock. My plan, which is subject to change at any time, is to keep the first one bone stock and do some changes to the used one. Maybe black tank, sides covers, Staintune, etc.Well, If you're crazy you have lots of company. I don't currently own any doubles but I have in the past. Not absolutely identical but real close. I've always told the wife "it followed me home" and strangely enough she's seemed to accept that. I've got a bunch of bikes and while they are all different I tend to make them similar. Single seats and small fairings. Some day I'll grow up (maybe)??
I have owned at least 50 bikes in the last 40 years and this is the first time I have owned two of the exact same bike, year, etc.! High praise for the CB1100, indeed!
The guy (kid) I bought it off of was a very nice young man, but just wasn't "thrilled" with the CB1100. He wants more of a sporty bike, which I totally understand.
